Chapter 227: It turns out, the true Mother Goddess is a minotaur
Inside the intelligence tent of Hengshui First Camp, it was silent as the grave at this moment.
The silence was such that the True Mother Goddess's breathing could be clearly heard.
That breathing was so rapid.
Contained within it were intense disbelief, indelible humiliation, and...
Fear.
Fear from the depths of her heart.
She looked woodenly at Big Boss, producing fear that a lifeform of her level should not produce.
Within the light curtain, Dian Huo had descended to the center of the Blitz Legion, roasting all living beings that appeared in her sight with deep blue flames.
Miserable screams passed through the light screen into the ears of everyone inside the tent.
At this moment, these demons recognized extremely clearly the true meaning of the word "Purgatory."
"Damn it, you... you schemed against me, you did it on purpose..."
"You deliberately gave me false intelligence, you exploited my suspicion, making me reach this judgment..."
The True Mother Goddess covered her forehead, feeling only dizzy.
The female demons beside her hurried forward to help her up, but she pushed them away with one shove.
Purple bangs, due to cold sweat, stuck to her forehead, her hideous face devoid of its usual dignity.
Her beautiful toes were trembling, the last joint of her little toe unconsciously curling up.
The True Mother Goddess never imagined that what Big Boss designed for her was a chain of stratagems.
He calculated that she would, due to her suspicion of him, choose to follow the military advisor's suggestion.
He calculated that she would, due to her suspicion of him, make this decision that led the great army into the Abyss.
Everything was planned by him.
Including his previous, those nauseating performances, whether humiliating himself or appearing calm and collected as if he cared nothing for Command Authority, were all the same.
Those performances were all to make herself hate him, to make herself not trust him.
He used these performances, step by step, to make herself become suspicious.
Then afterward, completed this fatal blow.
Now, the defeat of this war was swept clean by him.
All the blame fell on the True Mother Goddess herself.
Not only this, the elite troops she had accumulated over countless ages and cultivated were also destroyed in this war.
"How vicious your mind is, Furious Father God..." The True Mother Goddess's voice was trembling, not only because of fear, but also anger: "But I am very strange, do you not have a heart? Those elites, they were elites by your side! They were your soldiers!"
"You just let them go to their deaths, where is your heart? Does your heart not hurt?"
I certainly would not hurt, I would rather they all die, otherwise where would I get souls for Territory Forging... Big Boss coldly snorted, furrowing his brow:
"I say True Mother Goddess Lady, from just now you have been saying things I don't understand, what trap, what scheme."
"I simply don't understand what you're saying at all!"
"I clearly gave you the Deployment Map! It was you who didn't act according to the plan, causing such dire consequences!"
"But now you are being aggressive toward me, what is this!"
Big Boss wore an innocent expression on his face, acting so well he almost believed it himself.
Unfortunately, the True Mother Goddess would not believe a word he said.
Instead, she was so angry at Big Boss's lies that she directly clutched her chest, pointing a finger at him: "You, you bastard, do I need to say it so clearly? You did it on purpose, you deliberately let your soldiers go to their deaths just to frame me, to set me up!"
"Ridiculous!"
Big Boss shouted loudly, putting on an appearance of extreme anger: "In this Abyss, who doesn't know that Furious Father God loves his soldiers like children, who doesn't know that I lead from the front!"
"Saying I sent my soldiers to their deaths... I say True Mother Goddess Lady, have you gone mad?"
"Or do you want to pin the blame on me? Establish a white lotus persona for yourself!"
"You, you..." The True Mother Goddess could barely breathe, clutching her chest, feeling those two mounds of flesh were about to burst.
And around her, the Guard of Honor of Furious Father God were also staring at him with unfriendly eyes.
In their view, all the errors were caused by this goddess.
It was because she was stubborn and unwilling to follow Father God Sir's plan that this great calamity occurred.
You must know, among those elite troops that launched the surprise attack, there were not a few of their brothers, colleagues.
And now, these demons, touched by Dian Huo, did not even have the chance to Return to Abyss.
How could they not be angry? How could they not want revenge?
If they couldn't defeat this True Mother Goddess, they would surely swarm up, flay her skin, and pull out her tendons.
Seeing this scene, the True Mother Goddess's hand clenched tightly.
She was very clear that her situation was hopeless.
This time, she had no evidence to prove that the war's dire consequences were related to Furious Father God.
She could only swallow this bitter fruit herself.
Unless...
She could get evidence from the surviving soldiers.
"Hmph, very good, really good, Furious Father God, I truly underestimated you." The True Mother Goddess exhaled a long breath: "Unfortunately, you also underestimated my resolve!"
Speaking, she removed her glasses, purple pupils spreading, dyeing the entire whites of her eyes purple.
This was her origin divine artifact — Eye of Truth.
"Very good, Furious, you should feel honored, do you know? You are the first among all demigods to see my power."
Purple long hair rose without wind, along with that long robe, also fluttering in the wind.
A ripple spread beneath her feet.
Immediately, a strange feeling entwined itself around Big Boss's heart.
He felt an unprecedented lack of coordination, as if everything before him, except the True Mother Goddess, was fake.
"This is my power, a higher-dimensional power unlike your lowly anger, fear, pain, and lust."
"My power is truth!"
The True Mother Goddess sneered, fresh blood pouring from her eye sockets like a waterfall.
And the purple light in her eyes grew brighter and brighter.
"I say, my soldiers, shall be able to withstand the erosion of flames."
"I say, my soldiers, shall possess souls that defeat flames."
"I say, my soldiers, today, shall not die at Dian Huo's hands!"
She said softly.
Immediately, the images on the light curtain also rippled.
The elite forces of the True Land, originally fleeing madly and tormented by Dian Huo's fear, stopped struggling.
Instead, the deep blue flames fell from their bodies, taking patches of cracked skin with them.
But in such pain, these elite forces regained the strength to fight once more.
In contrast were the soldiers of the Wrath Father God Domain.
They were burned by the flames, enduring panic that made all souls tremble, powerlessly collapsing to the ground, trembling in fear, awaiting death.
"Hah... hah..."
The True Mother Goddess's body trembled, nearly falling.
Dian Huo truly possessed a trait that made even the Abyss Will feel wary and fearful; merely distorting her flame's trait and rewriting the reality of her flames' harm to soldiers exhausted the True Mother Goddess's strength.
She had originally wanted to directly rewrite reality, making reality become that the soldiers had already killed Dian Huo.
But discovered it was fundamentally impossible.
Before the 【Eye of Truth】 was completely unsealed, this was the limit of what she could do.
Her body swayed on the verge of collapse,
but the True Mother Goddess still stopped her confidants' movements to support her, propping herself on the table with her own hands, maintaining a straight posture.
A long line of blood flowed from both her mouth corner and eye corner.
Her originally extremely fair face became as pale as paper at this moment, terrifying to the extreme.
With those blood lines, she did not look ferocious at all, but instead showed a strange, wondrous beauty.
And on this face of wondrous beauty was a smile filled with unprecedented refreshment.
"Hehe, I won, Wrath Father God. Although I still don't know now what exactly you did to my soldiers, as long as they come back, I can see through all your tricks."
"By then, the truth will be revealed, and you will be devoured by the Great Will as bait, hehe, hehe."
Is this the True Mother Goddess's ability? Directly rewriting reality?
And it seems there are no activation limitations...
What a terrifying ability...
Big Boss analyzed the True Mother Goddess's power and thought of his own 【Questioning】.
He didn't expect that when the enemy possessed similar power, it would actually be so troublesome.
And this is still the True Mother Goddess's unsealed power; if this power were unsealed, how strong would it become?
Surely it wouldn't be that whatever kind of world the True Mother Goddess wanted, she could turn the world into whatever she wanted, right?
Forcibly making established reality develop according to her imagination—isn't that a kind of cuckoldry...
Fortunately, this power is hers; if it were obtained by that neurotic Death Witch...
Then Big Boss's clear/complete this time would be extremely joyful.
But what a pity, Mother Goddess Sir; even with such power, you still cannot change your own outcome of defeat.
Big Boss sighed.
And this sigh entered the True Mother Goddess's ears, but she took it as Big Boss's helplessness.
"Hahahaha, hahahahaha, finally out of options? Want to surrender and admit defeat?"
"Wrath Father God, you are a worthy opponent; you made me use unsealed power in advance, but everything is over! Everything is over!"
"Not only will I uncover all the truth, I will also declare war on you, correct, declare war on you! Hahahaha!"
"My elite forces lost only one-tenth! And yours are already completely annihilated!"
"You're finished, you're completely finished! Today, you Wrath Father God will be removed from among the Seven Gods!"
"Hahahaha!!"
The True Mother Goddess shouted loudly.
And within the light curtain, her elite forces were also desperately retreating out of the Profound Land.
Flames entwined around their bodies; although in excruciating pain, they could no longer harm them in the slightest.
"Father God Sir."
Prime Minister Lu Yi approached Big Boss at the right time, coldly saying: "The longer the night, the more dreams; let's strike first."
Correct, after all, this is the Wrath Father God's home field.
Although the Wrath Father God's strength cannot compare to the True Mother Goddess's.
But the True Mother Goddess just rewrote reality, paid the price, and her body is weak.
If we add all the Demon Race present, we might not be unable to defeat her.
But if we wait for the True Mother Goddess's elite forces to return, the scales of victory will tilt to the other side.
This is a gamble, yet it is the optimal solution at this very moment.
Naturally, it is the optimal solution Lu Yi could think of.
For Li Cheng, however, it is a method with low cost-effectiveness.
He waved his hand, signaling Lu Yi to relax.
Lu Yi instantly became anxious: "Father God Sir, we cannot delay any longer!"
This time, Lu Yi truly felt the situation was urgent beyond compare. The slightest carelessness would mean the outcome of the Full Territory's annihilation.
"Relax." Li Cheng merely glanced at him indifferently, then looked at the True Mother God innocently: "I say, Mother God Adult, are you so certain your elite troops can return?"
"What did you say?" The True Mother God braced herself hard against the table, straightening her beautiful legs.
"I heard that besides the flame that can never be extinguished, this Dian Huo also possesses an ability that can make a target's head explode directly!"
"Stop talking nonsense, how would I not know Dian Huo has this kind of ability?"
"Hehe, perhaps your information collection wasn't enough, hehe." Li Cheng laughed, pointing at the light screen: "Huh, Mother God Adult look, it's started."
"What?"
The True Mother God whipped her head around, and the next second, her pupils shrank to a point.
Only to see in the light screen's picture.
Those elite soldiers of hers, faces full of pain, clutching their own necks, as if they had seen something unbelievable.
Then their complexions began to turn livid, their brains began to swell, just like a balloon blown up.
With a "Bang".
The first female demon race's head exploded.
Her headless body instantly stood at attention, yellow liquid seeped out, soaking the outer robe, falling stiffly to the ground.
And her death, like opening Pandora's music box, played continuous musical notes one after another in the Profound Land.
Bang, bang bang, bang bang bang...
In the True Mother God's unbelieving gaze, her elite soldiers, those soldiers just saved by her.
Heads exploded one by one.
Blood scattered, white and pink debris danced in the sky.
These dead ones, didn't even have time to speak last words, became headless corpses.
Of course, not just the True Mother God's soldiers.
The Wrathful Father God's elite soldiers, also the same.
They in the flames, watching their colleagues' heads explode, experiencing the dual torture of pain and fear.
That pain and fear, borrowed the light screen, transmitted into the Command Hall's tent interior.
Infecting every person in this tent.
Every demon race who witnessed the picture, faces ashen, stomachs churning, a few with poor mental quality already rushed out, vomiting incessantly.
Prime Minister Lu Yi was no better, his face pale as paper, the hand gripping the staff, continuously trembling.
Lu Yi had killed countless living beings in his life, he had even committed the evil deed of burying alive a pregnant woman carrying a child.
He originally thought, he was already the most terrifying executioner in this world.
But today, he realized he was wrong.
Such a picture, is truly the meaning of Asura Purgatory.
Over ten thousand heads exploding one by one, the impact of such a picture, absolutely cannot be compared to ordinary slaughter.
The True Mother God's forcibly straightened calves, finally unable to bear this bizarre picture, bent down, she also sat down on a nearby chair in a daze.
The impact made the chair emit a "creak creak" scraping sound.
That piercing sound, like it was scraping across her heart, made her tremble uncontrollably.
No, not trembling because of that sound.
But trembling because of the unknown.
She couldn't figure out, what kind of power, blew up her soldiers' heads.
In her Eye of Truth, she only saw these demon races' brain spiritual power, swelling on its own, amplifying on its own, then surpassing the shackles the true body could contain, triggering explosion.
As if, these soldiers...
Blew up their own heads themselves.
This is a power the True Mother God had never seen before.
She had never heard of, which demigod possessed such power.
Most terrifying is, the True Mother God knows very clearly, who did this cruel killing.
That absolutely wasn't Dian Huo's doing, Dian Huo fundamentally doesn't have such power.
The culprit who facilitated all this, is the Wrathful Father God.
Correct, only he, could do such a thing.
The True Mother God looked at Li Cheng, her gaze no longer held disdain and disgust, only wariness and fear.
She even in fear, silently touched her own neck, confirming something still existed above her.
"Just what... else are you hiding? How much power?"
She picked up the tea on the table, gently sipped a small mouthful, forcibly controlling her fear.
"How come you're saying things I don't understand again, Mother God Adult." Li Cheng smiled brightly: "I don't have this kind of direct head-exploding ability, oh right, Mother God Adult, what did you just say?"
"You want to declare war?"
"Crack."
Crack after crack, spread from the tea set in the True Mother God's hand, fragments falling to the ground.
The True Mother Goddess slowly set the tea set on the table, squeezing out an ugly smile: "Hehe, you misheard, Father God Sir, I never said such presumptuous words."
"You really didn't say it?" Big Boss frowned.
"No, I never said it." The True Mother Goddess smiled awkwardly.
"Is that so? But half of the soldiers who died in the Land of Fire were yours, weren't they? You just said these soldiers all died because of me, don't you hate me?" Big Boss looked full of doubt.
"Look at what you're saying." The True Mother Goddess endured the humiliation in her heart, putting on a doubtful appearance: "What soldiers? Where are there soldiers? When did I ever bring soldiers?"
Big Boss said nothing, merely glancing silently at the attendants behind the True Mother Goddess.
In the next instant, the True Mother Goddess slapped over.
The guards she had brought were all blown into debris.
Big Boss: "……"
"Father God Sir, I don't know what you're talking about!" The True Mother Goddess smiled brightly: "I never brought soldiers to your territory; the soldiers in this territory have nothing to do with me!"
It was a cut, she used Justice Cut!
Big Boss: "……"
Looking at the utterly speechless Big Boss, the True Mother Goddess instead breathed a slight sigh of relief.
She wasn't an idiot; now without soldiers, she was alone in the wrathful headquarters.
And because she had used power, she was in a weakened state.
If she cared about face at this time, she would truly be seeking death.
As for these demons of the Abyss…
Hehe, they were just demons anyway, dead is dead.
Originally, it was also time to replace them.
It's just that the death of those elites would indeed cause her strength to drop significantly, from a demigod originally ranked near the top to the very bottom, almost on the same level as the Color Lust Mother Goddess Hui Ling and the Pain Mother Goddess Red Moon…
That disgusting man, today's grudge, I've noted it down.
If this grudge is not repaid, my thoughts will not be clear!
On the other side, Big Boss looked at the True Mother Goddess who had just finished cutting, and also felt amused.
This woman's reaction was indeed quite fast.
That's right, the head explosion just now was naturally Big Boss's handiwork.
This was the power he obtained after his Pain ability upgraded to Stage 7, and after advancing to Rank 8, it was enhanced again.
That is, the power of Purifying Pain's Kill All.
【Great Love Little Angel · Effect 3 · Exclusive Ability: Universal Salvation: 【You can purify pain by absorbing pain.】
【When the pain suffered by the target reaches their limit, you can choose to directly explode their head, forming an instant kill, and absorb their accumulated pain, temporarily gaining an attribute boost. This boost has no upper limit, and its duration depends on the absorbed Pain Energy.】
【The attribute boost can be stored, but loss occurs during the storage process.】
【This ability can be resisted—targets whose strength or Soul Strength is above yours may resist this ability; the stronger the target's strength and the higher their Soul Strength, the higher the resistance success rate.】
【This ability possesses Stealth, making the source of the ability's release undetectable (New)】
Having their souls burned by Dian Huo was originally pain ordinary people could not endure.
And Big Boss, through the Dragon-Phoenix Twins, thoughtfully used the power of Effect 2, amplifying that pain by 70 times.
Thus, the demons could no longer endure that pain, reaching the limit of 【Universal Salvation】.
And so, their heads exploded one by one.
And because of the newly obtained Rank 8 effect 【This ability possesses Stealth, making the source of the ability's release undetectable (New)】, even the True Mother Goddess couldn't figure out how she did it.
It was also because of the deaths of these elite soldiers.
Big Boss harvested a large amount of Pain Energy, and this Pain Energy was concentrated inside his Mark/Insignia.
Nourishing Red Moon Mother Goddess's body on one side, and becoming power he could use at any time.
Big Boss roughly perceived that if he used all this power, he could at least temporarily reach the level of Tenth Rank.
Just as his plan had it, with this power, plus the Blessings within the Trial, and the repeated weakening of the Wrath Father God.
Big Boss finally had the confidence to slay gods.
The Main Quest 2 of this Trial was to obtain as high an Identity as possible.
And now, within the Wrath Father God Domain, the person with the highest Identity was naturally the Wrath Father God.
Heh.
This Abyss demigod, the Wrath Father God could be, why couldn't he Big Boss? Of course, before that, he still had some things to do.
"Cough cough."
On the other side, the True Mother Goddess coughed twice, lifting her teacup to cover her inner embarrassment: "Um, Father God Sir, let's think about how to deal with Dian Huo; this time, our losses were too severe."
"This battle, we have already lost."
"We must still find a way to guarantee the Vital Force, lest the Great Will blame us!"
"Lost? Hehe, True Mother Goddess Sir, there is one thing you might have gotten wrong." Big Boss revealed a gentle smile: "Some things, if you don't do them, there are plenty of people who will."
The words had just fallen.
The Screen split into two, playing two other images.
In the image on the Left Side.
The Female Knight Regina was leading the demons of Hengshui First Camp, charging toward the Dian Huo Ji Tan on the Western Side.
In the image on the Right Side.
Mu He and Karenina were also leading another group of demons with Underwear on their heads, charging toward the Altar on the East Side.
The Altars on both sides were just as the Deployment Map said, completely undefended.
The two armies, like cutting melons and vegetables, rushed into the interior…
"Lady True Mother Goddess, as for me, when I do things, I've always liked to have a few backup plans." Big Boss smiled: "As for me, I've always been worried that I would lose this war because of your command."
"So I sent a few of my confidants ahead of time and made preparations for war."
"I didn't expect that you would actually make a command error..."
"But don't worry, any battle Lady True Mother Goddess can fight, I can fight too; any battle Lady True Mother Goddess cannot fight, I can fight too!"
"The one who loses, the one who takes the blame, from beginning to end, has only ever been you."
With a "crack" sound.
The teacup fell to the ground.
Shattered into pieces.
Lady True Mother Goddess stared blankly at Big Boss, letting blood drip drop by drop from the wound on her finger...
